1984 BMW 733i – 5‑Speed Manual – 90k Miles – Rust‑Free – $9,000

1984 BMW 733i – 5‑Speed Manual – 90k Miles – Two Owners – Rust‑Free – $9,000
Offered for sale is my 1984 BMW 733i, a rare factory 5‑speed manual E23. I am the second owner and have had the car since February 1992. It has always been garage‑kept, has never seen snow, and remains original and unmodified.
Mileage: ~90,000
Transmission: 5‑speed manual
Ownership: Two owners
Title: Clean
Location: West Bloomfield, MI
Price: $9,000
Mechanical
The car runs well and has been consistently maintained throughout my 34 years of ownership. For the past decade it has been stored in my garage and driven a few miles each fall to keep the engine, seals, and fuel system healthy. Fresh gasoline and stabilizer were always used before storage.
– M30 starts easily and idles smoothly
– 5‑speed shifts cleanly
– Clutch engages properly
– Suspension and brakes operate as expected
As is common on E23s, the speedometer and tachometer are currently inoperative. These cluster issues are well‑known and rebuildable.
Interior
The interior is in excellent condition for its age.
– Leather seats are spotless with no tears or cracks
– Dash is clean with no splits
– Carpets and door panels are in great shape
– Factory sunroof
– All glass original and clear
Only flaw: headliner around the sunroof is beginning to unglue at the front edge (not torn).
Exterior
The exterior presents very well.
– Rust‑free
– Paint shows nicely
– Body straight with no major dents
– A few small dings from bicycles years ago
Trim, chrome, and glass are all in good condition. The car has never been modified.
Additional Notes
– Always garage‑kept
– Never winter‑driven
– Started and driven briefly every fall
– Long‑term ownership since 1992
– Selling simply because I no longer use the car and it has been taking up space in my garage
- More photos are available upon request; the site only allows a maximum of six images
This is a well‑preserved, honest example of a manual‑transmission E23 — a rare find today. It would make an excellent driver or light restoration candidate for an enthusiast who appreciates early 7‑Series cars.
